Deep infiltrative endometriosis (DIE) is characterized by the infiltration of endometrial tissue into the pelvic organs, such as the rectovaginal septum, utero-ovarian, and uterosacral ligaments. Bowel involvement occurs in approximately …
Rapidly increasing evidence has documented that endocrine disruptors (EDs) contribute substantially to disease and disability, particularly neurodevelopmental disorders, metabolic diseases, reproductive disorders, immune and thyroid dysfunctions, as well as hormone-related …
Endometriosis (EMs) is a chronic disease affecting millions of women worldwide, yet its pathogenesis remains unclear, and current diagnostic methods are limited. This study based on the EMs dataset from …
Global fertility rates continue to decline despite advancements in assisted reproductive technologies, highlighting a significant gap in our understanding of the mechanisms underlying preconception physiology. In this commentary, we review …
The menstrual cycle induces a wide range of physiological changes in the skin and its appendages, often overlooked in dermatologic practice. Catamenial dermatoses, influenced by hormonal fluctuations, present with cyclical …
Emerging evidence suggests a genetic link between immune-related diseases and Alzheimer's disease (AD), though the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. This Mendelian randomization (MR) study investigates the genetic relationship between six …
Endometriosis is a chronic gynecologic disease of reproductive-age women, causing menstrual pain and infertility. Endocrine and inflammatory mechanisms drive its development, with estrogen/progesterone imbalance contributing to extrauterine implantation and persistence …
Endometriosis is a disease characterized by the presence of ectopic endometrium, mainly within the peritoneal cavity, and is associated with the development of inflammation due to cyclic endometrial alterations. The …
Glutamic acid decarboxylase (GAD) is vital for gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) synthesis. Auto-antibodies against GAD deplete GAD levels and subsequently GABA, resulting in a hyper-excitatory state. A 41-year-old woman with anti-GAD …
Endometriosis is a prevalent gynaecological disorder characterized by estrogen-dependent lesions. Pain-particularly dysmenorrhea, chronic pelvic pain, and dyspareunia-is the hallmark symptom of endometriosis. While pain mechanisms remain poorly understood, mast cells …
